I don’t think my experience is unique when I say that I invariably find participation at the table of the Lord to be a profound moment of increased spiritual blessing. It is a means, through prayerful reflection, by which the Lord manifests His glory, love, mercy, and kindness to my religious consciousness. The Spirit works profoundly at the time of communion to awaken in my mind and to impress upon my heart the eternal significance of Christ’s finished work at Calvary and His love, not merely for people in general, but for me in particular.

My dear brothers in Christ;

I am so blessed. I awoke and checked my e-mail first thing this morning, as
usual. Last night seemed like a bad dream. Then I began to read wonderful
words of encouragement. Many of you even responded late Sunday night, or
very early Monday. Brenda and I wept as we read your words.

Then the Lord confirmed what all of you have been saying in my quiet study
time—we are all called to stay the course, to be faithful no matter what. I
read about Moses leading the children of Israel through the wilderness in
Exodus 16. But it was when I came to Exodus 17 and the account of Aaron and
Hur holding up the weary arms of Moses that I realized what an awesome
privilege we have as children of God. You have held up my arms during the
battle. It is not over yet, but I know exactly what the outcome will be. The
Lord will prevail. His wonderful name be praised forever.

Thanks for the encouragement and prayers. Bro. Jack—don’t ever let anyone
tell you that pastormail isn’t a worthwhile endeavor. I guess I’m called to
be a foot washer rather than a shoe seller!

May the Lord bless all of you this beautiful Monday,
Pete Campbell
